A Railroad Through Jones Co. |
As wa stated la our lest issue a j
railroad running from Pollocksvllle To {
Kinston would pass through one of the j
moot prosperous sections lu Eastern I
North Carolina. Almost every foot!
of laud being In a high slate of cultiva
tion. A large portion of these lands
are adanted to the growth ot tobacco,
j and trucking might tie earned on with
profit. As present only cotton Is be
ing raised by the farmeress their piir.- j
clpai money crop. but. if we bed fast
transportation thry would diversify
their crone, and Jones couutv would
undoubtedly be the ’'garden spot” of
Eastern Carolina. Let every man in
Tones county who feel# an interest io
the future prosperity of his county,
lend hi* aid in getting a road. The
lttie we propose is practical, and we
believe will profiiible to its owners.
Rtw Adds from Kew Berne
J. W. Stewart.
Perhaps no man in New Berne has
had a more successful business career
I than J. W. Stewart. He went to lh»t
asity in 1883 from near Fort Barnwell,
Craven county, a comparitivsly poor
young man, and began the livery boat
uese, and within a period of fourteen
years, ba* amassed a fortune that auy
one might feel proud of. His place of
business is on Brovd Street, and occu
pies a frontage of lIR feet bv 214 deep
and almost tbs entire space is occupied
by buildings for the transaction'of bis
immense busmens. His stables are
built of brick arid conveniently arrang
ed, and no .uen in North Carolina car
ries a larger and finer lot of horses and
male*. In connection with his stables
be carries a lain* stock of buggies sod
wagons; also haruees, whlpa, and a
great assortment of furnishings or ex
ire parta for harness, buggies, and sic.,
such aa dashes, wheel, buckles., in fact,
everything needful. To give some idea
of his immense stock, Mr. Stewart in
formed ns that one order tor whips
alone amounted to 220 dozen, and that
of harne*a as high as 107 set*; and be
lute had iu bis houv# and on tba road
at one lime as muob as 300 sets. Tlia
Nkws takes great pleasure in ooliug
the success or Mr. Htewart, and we
give it as an object lesson to yonng
men who may be starling out in life,
that tbty may emulate the example
set by him. Square dealings and close
attention to business Las made him
what he la.
